Famous quotes containing the words aggression and/or workplace:

“[Research has found that] ... parents whose children were baby altruists by two years firmly prohibited any child aggression against others. Adults not only restated their rule against hitting, for example, but they let the little one know that they would not tolerate the child hurting another.”—Alice Sterling Honig (20th century)

“Most fathers will admit that having children does not change perceptibly the way they are treated or perceived in the workplace, even if their wives work. Everyone at his workplace assumes that she will take on the responsibilities of the children and the home, even if she too is in the office all day.”—Anne C. Weisberg (20th century)
